Benjamin recently lost all of his siblings and his father. Now him and his mother have been evicted from their home and have to rent a place to stay. Even with the very little they now have, Benjamin's mother does all she can to try and send Benjamin to school. It took everything she had to get Benjamin to Daisy School. But that is all she could do. Benjamin showed up with nothing in his possession and does not have a way to even get home to his mother when the school breaks for holiday.
